What were the highlights of the Sharks vs. Oilers game?

On April 9th, the San Jose Sharks dropped a 5-2 decision to the Edmonton Oilers at SAP Center last night. Macklin Celebrini and Kiefer Sherwood lit the lamp for San Jose.

But Connor McDavid stole the show with a hat trick and five points total, powering Edmonton's attack. Celebrini hit a milestone goal early, notching his 108th point this season, good for third all-time among teenagers behind only Wayne, Gretzky, and Sidney Crosby.

The Sharks switched up lines to protect the puck better up front, but power plays hurt them bad, going just okay lately at 8-for-16. Fans packed the arena with 15,683 in attendance, and the Oilers' booster crew made it feel like a road game with their noise. Sharks managed 0-5 on five shots in the first period, leaning too much on special teams against the stacked Edmonton squad. Second period got rough with breakaways and turnovers, like Dickinson struggling on clears, leading to McDavid's breakouts. Sherwood banged in a tip for San Jose's first even-strength shot, but Edmonton kept pressing, and the Sharks looked hesitant, afraid to shoot. Edmonton swapped goalies to Jerry late, but the damage was done.

Sharks had to face the Ducks tomorrow. Could be a reset after this beatdown, especially if they tweak the pace around Celebrini and get bodies to the net more.

How did Connor McDavid's performance impact the game?
